About Atria Forest Lake

from Oasis Senior Advisors

Atria Forest Lake is an assisted living community designed for residents who can benefit from daily support yet value a measure of independence. In addition to standard assisted living services, the community offers short-term respite stays, making it possible for family caregivers to take planned breaks or manage emergencies. On-site speech therapy is available for residents who need help maintaining or improving communication skills, and specialized diabetes management supports individuals who require routine blood sugar monitoring and diet oversight.

Care is coordinated within a secured community, reducing the risk of wandering and providing peace of mind for families concerned about safety. Residents have access to an emergency alert pendant or wristband that connects directly to the community’s emergency alert system, ensuring prompt staff response around the clock. These features work together to deliver a consistent level of supervision without unnecessary intrusion into daily life.

Living spaces are offered in several floor plans, and not every apartment includes every feature. Depending on the unit selected, residents may have wheelchair-accessible or walk-in showers, kitchenettes, furnished or unfurnished layouts, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and individual climate control. Housekeeping services are provided, and most units allow small pets. Outdoor areas and on-site parking give residents and visitors convenient options for fresh air and vehicle storage.

Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served on a set menu that accommodates low-sodium, no-added-sugar, and vegetarian preferences. All-day dining offers flexibility for residents who prefer to eat outside of traditional schedules, and guest meals can be arranged for visiting family members. The kitchen staff works with clinical teams to align nutritional choices with each resident’s personal care plan.

Amenities and services include a library and computer lounge for quiet study, an activity center for group events, and organized fitness programs such as chair yoga. Residents can take part in social outings, enjoy outdoor walking paths, or relax beside the swimming pool. Raised garden beds support light gardening, and happy hour, birthday celebrations, clubs, and live music appearances contribute to a varied social calendar.
